Publisher's Synopsis
the Healing of Us series.... Author Barbara Ann Shipe is passionate about her "calling": to bring people into deeper communion with the Divine so that it becomes a true guiding light and comfort in their lives.

She gives practical advice on the importance of: self-reflection; acceptance; communication; living in the present moment; choosing love/free will; and giving the gift of helping others find themselves. An important part of her spiritual journey was the shift from a strict Christian religious upbringing into a mature, constantly evolving Spirituality which she defines as: a truly loving friendship with God that gives Faith in the Flow of Life and clarity of her Soul Purpose. She presents an intriguing and compelling case for us to see Jesus as an example of how to "Be Love" and live in true partnership with God.
